President Bola Tinubu's administration has acquired a luxury Airbus A330 aircraft for presidential use, despite criticism from various sources.

According to Empowered Newswire, the aircraft is currently in France and has been spotted at an advanced stage of preparation. The plane has been assigned a tail registration that features the seal of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It was reportedly ready for delivery

The aircraft in question is an ACJ330-200, VP-CAC (msn 1053), registered as 5N-FGA.

It features a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom at the front, followed by an office and a conference and dining room. It also has an airline-style first-class and economy seating at the rear.

The report noted that informed sources from international aviation firms and news sites also indicate that as of early afternoon Nigerian time on July 15, 2024, the plane has been flown from Germany to an airport in Saint Louis, France.

SaharaReporters on June 28 reported that the Nigerian government planned to spend over N150 billion on a new presidential jet, a move that sparked controversy.

The proposed expenditure comes under scrutiny as the nation grapples with economic challenges and record inflation.

PREMIUM TIMES had reported that the Nigerian government intended to acquire a seized Airbus A330 aircraft, which was reportedly in possession of a German bank, following a default on a multi-million dollar loan by an unnamed Arab prince and businessman.

The government had reportedly identified the aircraft for purchase but was seeking funds to complete the transaction, pending any changes to the plan.

According to reports, the Nigerian government had its sights on the Airbus A330 aircraft, previously owned by a troubled oil sheikh who used it as collateral for a loan from a German bank.

The aircraft was at that time in the possession of L & L International LLC, a Miami-based aviation firm, which was facilitating the sale on behalf of the German bank. Valued at $600 million, the multi-engine jet boasts a luxurious VIP configuration.

According to the report, the Nigerian government had made a bid of approximately $100 million for the repossessed Airbus A330 aircraft, but the seller, L & L International LLC, was yet to accept the offer.

It was reported that the proposed payment equivalent was N150.7 billion, based on the official exchange rate of N1,507 per US dollar at the time.

According to the report, AMAC Aerospace AG, a Swiss aviation company, was facilitating the Nigerian government's acquisition of the repossessed Airbus A330 aircraft.

AMAC Aerospace AG has a pre-existing contract with the Presidential Air Fleet (PAF) for aircraft maintenance, but the company's director, Alexis Ott, declined to comment on the matter, citing a policy of not disclosing information about such transactions.

An operator history dashboard on planespotters.net also showed that the Airbus 330 was now wearing the tail registration of the Nigerian presidential jet 5N-FGA and also adorned with the Nigerian Presidential Seal.

The A330 combines new-generation engines, aerodynamic and other improvements to deliver even more comfort and efficiency. Designed for highly-demanding VIP and private markets, the aircraft delivers top-end luxury, comfort and range.

The A330 is the world’s most successful widebody airliner, having evolved through intelligent innovation into an even more capable aircraft - as well as having evolved into freighter, multi-role tanker transport and corporate jet roles.

What a misplaced priority


A country that cannot pay workers a reasonable amount of money is buying an aircraft Worth N150billion for the president.

The same family that said they are rich and not after such thing.

NIGERIANs Make una dey endure; you hear😂.

While Bola dobale for inside Airbus.

Useless con3.

Africans no fit get sense; that's why no race has regards for black people. The population of Nigeria is just 220 million. There are countries whose populations are over one billion souls. Yet, Nigeria has more poor people than those countries.

To make matters worse, Nigerian politicians live like emperors in the midst of abject penury. UK PM Boris Johnson whose economy was over $3 trillion dollars flew in commercial BA planes and Bola Tinubu whose economy isn't up to $500 billion is acquiring fleet of airplane. Congrats to Tinubu; I guess this will be added to your numerous achievements.

This is what Tinubu e-rodent zombies have been running helter-skelter today trying vehemently in futility to rebuff. They seem to have stupidly forgotten that any act of ill done is like pregnancy that can't never be hidden.

Lol.. When Tribalism has finished Nigeria. We will start counting bones

This is highly likely to be true because this is how the Air Nigeria plane leasing by Ethiopian Airline was flatly denied by the government and their zombies when David Huyedin exposed it.

Where you the one that took that picture of this plane "Empowered Newswire" or whatever that website is called is tagging the presidential jet?

Note that this picture was also used as far back as February for propaganda too.

Watch how zombies will crawl out of their caves to defend this show of wicked extravagance.

Nigerians have donated and traded their wellbeing and welfare to their leaders, they prefer to carry the cross of their leaders and suffer in their stead ,if in doubt read the comments on Nairaland anytime the leaders are being called out

It's making sense now

It is okay let him acquire it ...better than to be borrowing plane up and down revealing state secret ..

Tinubu deserves it for his contributions to Nigeria's growth and development.

Very useless exchange rate. Makes it looks like 150b naira na very huge money when compare to its worth in Dollars. Nigeria is gone. Iv never seen a country's exchange rate above 1k. Even cefa is not worth1k to a Dollar.

Na like Obasanjo wey dey use presidential jet, Tinubu dey plan for longterm success.

Baba enjoyment, nothing concern the conman with una suffering, he needs to recoup the billions he used to shutdown INEC portal and buy Northern Governors, you people cant eat your cake and have it, ride on Emilokan you worked for it

Nigerians are funny sha, Presidential Aircraft is faulty that Tinubu had to borrow a Business mogul jet to grace SA Presidential Inauguration event.

These same people are the people that mocked him for using a borrowed Jet, Yet still criticizing him for acquiring a Presidential plane as should be

One reason I crave for Military rule, many of y'all Dumbos who are just bitter for nothing woulda have ur head on a plate atm. Nonsense

How did we have this dirty, greedy and selfish old druggy as a President? What a country

He needs it before something bad happens for enemies to rejoice. As you can all see, he doesn't need your approval to get it, so you can weep and cry blood if you are not happy with it. Even before he became President, he had a private jet, why then should he be flying in Molue as President?

NICE ONE MR. PRESIDENT!

KEEP IT UP SIR! NOTHING DO YOU!

YOU ARE TRULY A GREAT FIRST CLASS ECONOMIST!

WAITING FOR DOLLAR TO CLOCK 2K BEFORE AUGUST SO I CAN CASH OUT BIG FOR DECEMBER HOLIDAY!




SIR PLS DONT FORGET YOU NEED A LUXURY PRESIDENTIAL CRUISE SHIP - IN FACT KING Muḥammad VI OF MOROCCO HAS ORDERED A NEW LUXURY CRUISE SHIP WORTH 10 BILLION DOLLARS AND PLACED HIS 5 BILLION DOLLAR LUXURY CRUISE SHIP ON SALE FOR A PALTRY 1.8 BILLION DOLLARS (I CAN SUPPLY IT TO YOU YOUR EXCELLENCY) YOU DESERVE THE GOOD THINGS OF LIFE SIR.
